- Abstract
The world has entered the age of social media, which has brought major impact to the human society. We believe it is crucial to consider not only the benefits that social media brought but also the problems. This paper focuses on social media’s contribution to the diffusion of disinformation online. This work discusses how the users, social media companies and the fundamental design of the platform supplies the diffusion and leads to the growing racism targeting Chinese people. Acknowledging this issue is the first step to relieving in the long term.
